Meet Our Students

“The TRIO program showed me that my past does not dictate where I can go and how to utilize certain resources to help me grow both as a learner as well as an individual in the world.”

Bobby knew he wanted to chase storms his first year in college, so his advisor connected him with a “bucket list” opportunity which led to a college partnership that other aspiring student storm chasers can now enjoy!
